Exactly what I was thinking. Also, easy to make if COTS doesn't trip your trigger.Have you thought about using threaded inserts like helicoil, or some of the others...they can greatly increase the holding strength of threads in aluminum.
I was more looking for an equation or something so I can calculate it. There are 8 screws holding a part about 100lbs to the aluminum plate (about 1 inch thick). That aluminum plate is then subject to extreme impact. 3/8-16 failed. Unfortunately I am not able to provide pictures. I know that's not much but I've spent so much time trying to figure this out that the crap shoot is worth it

No idea if the bolts are in shear or tension forces. that makes a big difference. My calculations above assumed tension.

None if us know any details. That is why all the answers are general in nature. General, just like the query.
